We want YOU for Multiplayer Moe! (credit to the artist and pitman)

Faster, moe-er and better since last week!

What is it? Multiplayer Moe is a weekly anime series watching event where we get together on a Mumble server and talk about the series we're watching (also about unrelated stuff). Everyone arranges their moe in advance; make sure you're ready beforehand. The first session is at 13 UTC, the second at 18 UTC and the third at 21 UTC. Full description at the bottom of this post.

Short recap of this week: I'm really, really happy about this week. Nineteen different visitors! art-solopov, baconingot, beelzegrub, buku, DJWalnut, ElPsyCongroo, Ganer, grozzle, Ishki, Kethsar, Kevvvn, MuffinBoss, Patchuu, pitman, pyon, Tiriniz, Tunetine, zero and myself all attended one or more session. I even had to upgrade the server to support more people, again! This was literally my face when I pushed the buttons. Hope to see you next week!

=== Next week, the nineteenth of january, the moe is back again! The schedule is as follows:

|Session #|Series name|Season #|At episode / # in season| :--|:--|:--|:--|:-- |1|Azumanga Daioh|1|14/26| |1|Lucky Star|1|1/24| |2|K-On!!|2|5/26| |2|Acchi Kocchi|1|6/12| |3|Usagi Drop|1|10/11| |3|Joshiraku|1|6/13|

As you can see, Usagi drop is close to finishing. I've already promised Yuru Yuri would enter the rotation at a US-friendly timeslot, so YRYR season 1 will fill in for it when it finishes. We also have a free slot for where Ichigo Mashimaro used to be. Vote for what gets to be in that slot below!

Mumble info:

• The Mumble client is available for download here. You're not required to use a microphone if you don't have one or don't want to use it, as text chat is there as well.
• It's easiest to click this link, to tell your client to connect without having to fiddle with ports and such.
• Password = spAce57 - Register yourself with the server to avoid having to enter it each time it changes. (Self -> Register)

If that somehow fails, enter this information in the Connect window:

• IP = mumble-3.verygames.net
• Port = 50066
• Username = [insert username here]
• Password (it'll ask once you click Connect) = spAce57 - Register yourself with the server to avoid having to enter it each time it changes. (Self -> Register)

Long description of Multiplayer Moe, aimed at newcomers: Multiplayer Moe is a weekly event (each saturday) in which we join a Mumble server together (details below) at the same time. We then start watching episodes of moe series at the count of 3 so we're all in sync and then we talk about how this is our favorite intro ever, funny events, say "aww" a lot, and generally have a lot of fun. This is split up into 3 time slots: the first of which is at 13 UTC, the second at 18 UTC and the third at 21 UTC; we watch different series at the three timeslots so that there's not a lot of rewatching, not more than necessary anyway. Each session should last for approximately an hour (usually waiting for more people for 5 minutes, then watching an episode for 25 minutes, 5 minute break then the second episode), although I recommend sticking around afterwards for further moe, games or other internet-social activities.

PS: If you only have time to catch up with one series, catch up with Usagi Drop. It has the strongest story and the series is therefore best enjoyed if you've caught up.
